The Music Center Search browser extension from Playmediacenter.com is proposed to music enthusiasts who like to keep up with the latest hits and music videos online. The Music Center Search extension can be downloaded from the Chrome Web Store by going to Chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/musiccenter-search/nojbeneioiilnddfchipppaggpnonkep. However, the Music Center Search app is deemed as a Potentially Unwanted Program (PUP) that performs multiple redirects and collects non-personally identifiable data to help advertisers deliver tailor suited ads across the sites you visit. Additionally, the Music Center Search browser extension is identical to the OnlineMusic Search from Bettersearchtools.com, the StreamJunkie Search from Theappjunkies.com and the mixMusic Search from Medianetnow.com. These clones come from separate program developers seemingly, but they are all programmed to send Web traffic to Eanswers.com and use almost identical site themes. When you proceed to add the Music Center Search app to your client you are invited to grant the following privileges to the program:
- Read and change all your data on the websites you visit.
- Change your search settings to music.eanswers.com.
The Music Center Search extension manifests as a microphone icon in the navigation bar and offers users quick links to content on Gomusix.com. Also, users have reported being redirected to Movie.medianetnow.com/wim/lp/lp51/index_81.php?id=2 that urges them to complete the installation of the Music Center Search by adding the videoNet Search browser extension from Medianetnow.com, which is another clone of the sites mentioned above. Some users might wonder what is the purpose of Music Center Search and all the extensions you are urged to install afterward. The answer is pretty simple — sponsored search results. The creators of the Music Center Search app aim to drive Web traffic to Music.eanswers.com and redirect users to a custom version of Yahoo at Search.yahoo.com/yhs/search?hspart=iba&hsimp=yhs-1&type=rjs996_0_OTW_A1&p=, as well as Gomusix.com that we have referred a lot of times in the past. The Music Center Search extension is available for free usage, but it is an ad-supported product that may lead users to add more than a few extensions to their browser and cause unwanted browser redirects. You should scrutinize the Terms of Use and Privacy Agreement published on Playmediacenter.com/privacy.php and Playmediacenter.com/terms.php before you decide to keep using the app. Removal instructions are provided at Playmediacenter.com/help.php, but you are likely to need help with removing the tracking cookies and Web beacons downloaded from Music.eanswers.com. It is a good idea to use a reliable anti-spyware scanner and remove Music Center Search without interfering with your existing applications.
